And I agree of course - SBTUG rocks :-) And one of the things I love about SBTUG is how involved and passionate all the members are. Each month we discuss (and sometimes heatedly debate!) technology - as you say: all with a view of 'using the right tool for the job'. Very beneficial. Thanks Jodie – I really appreciate the comment.

I totally forgot to mention Web PI - whichis of course the best example of Microsoft embracing other products. Thanks Nick.

It's ok to be sensitive (we're human after all) but rest assured, those that know you, respect and thank you for the effort you put into these events. You may not know this, but I often mention your name as one of my earliest inspirations for understanding the value of community particularly in the tech world. You have lead by example and I will always support whatever endeavour you are involved in because I know it will be of value to others. My only regret is I haven't been to enough SBTUGs :-) Looking forward to a great event! Spot on Jodie, and Craig I take my hat off to you for remaining open and transparent.

It exposes the absolute zealotry there is out there in the IT community. At SBTUG we are very much anti all this zealotry crap. Yes we hold the event at Microsoft - big deal! They have a great venue and are very supportive to all user groups. This is a Business and Technology User Group - it's about the users, it's about business and it's about technology - that's it! It's not about Microsoft or any other vendor or service provider. We are all about focusing on what is the best tool for the job. I love many Microsoft Products (I'm a SharePoint consultant) and I absolutely love WordPress too. I choose the tool that does the job for me. SBTUG Rocks!
